  Introduction: Thyroid gland is one of the most important endocrine organs and almost all cells of the body are target sites for its hormones. Electromagnetic field became progressively more common constituent of the general and workplace environments. Aim of work: To evaluate the effect of low frequency electromagnetic fields (LF-EMF) on the structure and function of the thyroid gland and to evaluate their reversibility and role of vitamin E. Materials and Methods: Forty five adult male albino rats were equally divided into four groups; group I (control group), group II: rats were exposed to 50 Hz EMF for 1 month, group III: rats were received vitamin E just before EMF exposure for the same period and group IV (recovery group). At the time of sacrifice, blood samples were collected to estimate TSH, T3 and T4 levels. Th.. Read More»
